It may sound a little presumptuous, but their inaugural effort, Mushroom Men, shows significant promise on both the ...

Joystiq interviews Hail to the Chimp producer Jon Krusell
Wideload Games' Hail to the Chimp consistently delivered laughs to its audience of journalists at EIEIO. Being that the event was a large party, it was the perfect venue to try out a party game. The crowd got almost as boisterous during the gameplay sessions as they did later that evening, when th...
DS Fanboy interview: Insecticide's Larry Ahern
I met with Crackpot Entertainment's Larry Ahern, creative director of Insecticide, at this year's EIEIO event after he had finished demonstrating his game over and over again for successive groups of journalists and other attendees.

EIEIO 08: Hands-on with Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball
click to embiggen I'm a big fan of the Super Dodgeball games, and of the Kunio series in general. I played tons of dodgeball on the NES and GBA, and I've been watching the development of the DS game with more than enthusiasm. So when I first heard about the Xbox Live Arcade Pirates vs. Ninjas D...
EIEIO 08: Hail to the Chimp impressions
click to embiggen Not being much of a "next-gen" follower (sorry!) I had a vague belief that Wideload's Hail to the Chimp was a downloadable game. I was, then, surprised to find it a full-sized (but budget-priced) release. Developer Wideload Games used the retail-game budget to create not only a u...
